Can you help improve the experience of people making funeral arrangements?
If you have organised a funeral in the last three years, please complete @QSA’s short survey
Take the survey: quakersocialaction.org.uk/fu…
Pleased to see @ObserverUK highlighting this important issue. Crematorium owners have continually raised prices well above inflation and impeded competition, hopefully
@CMAgovUK will rectify this soon.
Grieving families pushed into debt as costs soar for burials and cremations theguardian.com/society/2020…
Due to covid-19, we're recommending memorial services rather than an attended funeral service. A memorial service happens after the cremation has taken place - usually it's somewhere nice in the outdoors, scattering the ashes, and then maybe a visit to a pub/restaurant (1/3)
to remember the deceased. Memorial services can happen months after the cremation and they can be as informal as you like. They're also free for you to organise rather than having to book the crematorium chapel and keep within the time limits. (2/3)
We're very proud to be part of the Fair Funerals 2020 pledge to make the funeral industry more open and honest. Well done to the wonderful team @endfuneralpov for all your hard work!

Funeral costs are sending more and more families into debt.
Mary, a single mother, had to borrow money from family and friends when her son died suddenly in a road accident.
Now she wants to help others struggling to pay for funerals.

Lesley’s brother John chose to end his suffering at Dignitas.
She returned to England expecting to be arrested, on top of the grief of losing her brother.
This is so cruel.
Change the law.
May we all be lucky enough to have enduring friendships like Arnold and Franco.
I love you Franco. I will always remember the joy you brought to my life, the advices you gave me, and the twinkle in your eye that never disappeared. You were my best friend. medium.com/@Schwarzenegger/m…

MYTH: Doctors won’t try as hard to save me if they know I want to be a donor.
FACT: A doctor's first priority will always be to save your life.

We're pleased to see our founder on @itvnews calling for more choices for the bereaved. More and more people are choosing direct cremation so they can say goodbye in their own way, without feeling rushed.

Being able to die, with dignity, in a manner of our choosing, is a fundamental human right, and over 80 percent of the UK public agree.

"Without the gift of life you don't have a chance. You can't put into words how much that means."
Fantastic to see the rise in organ donation consent rates in Wales, and more lives saved thanks to the incredible generosity of donors and their families. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-4641…
